Denver Lands Five on MLL All-Pro Team

from Press Release

BOSTON - Major League Lacrosse announced the
2013 MLL All-Pro Team, presented by LACROSSE.COM. 12 players were
named to the 2013 All MLL team, representing the best players in
their respective positions.

Every year MLL partner LACROSSE.COM runs a poll allowing fans to
contribute a third of the vote for the All-Pro Team, while the
other two thirds are made up by MLL coaches and general
managers.

The Denver Outlaws lead the way with five of their current
players named to the MLL All-Pro Team. Three players represent the
Hamilton Nationals, while the Chesapeake Bayhawks, Boston Cannons,
Charlotte Hounds, and New York Lizards each had one player named to
the roster.

In goal, fans, coaches, and GMs chose Outlaws Jesse Schwartzman,
a dominant goalie. This is his second time receiving the honor, as
he also did so in 2009. In 2013 Schwartzman earned the all-time
lowest single season goals against average at 9.67 and earned more
wins than any goalie in MLL history. Schwartzman's 14 wins and .597
save percentage were also recognized when he won the 2013 Warrior
Goalie of the Year honors.

Tucker Durkin, of the Hamilton Nationals, is the lone rookie to
be named to the MLL All-Pro Team, but deservingly so. Durkin was
named Warrior Defensive Player of the Week twice this season, for
phenomenal performances and shutting out opposing offenses. Playing
in 11 games this season, Durkin collected 24 ground balls and
helped Hamilton achieve one of the lowest goals against totals in
2013.

Also contributing to a team with only 149 goals against, was
Mike Evans of the Chesapeake Bayhawks. Evans is no stranger to this
honor, making the All MLL Team each of the last three seasons.
Evans also earned a spot at the 2013 All-Star Game, a standout
amongst defensemen in the League.

In contrast to rookie Durkin, Brodie Merrill has earned this
honor for his eighth consecutive season. Merrill not only defends
Hamilton's territory, but he has also tied Mason Poli, for the most
points scored by a defender in 2013, with 11. Merrill contributed
nine assists and two goals this season.

Lee Zink the final defenseman and the most decorated of the
three. He has also been named this year's Warrior Defensive Player
of the Year, his second season with the honor. Zink is the face,
and stick, of the Denver defense, the best in the League.

Greg Gurenlian, the sole representative for the Lizards, has
been a dominant faceoff specialist in his 10th season with the
League. Gurenlian has posted the highest single-season faceoff win
percentage, .640. This is his second consecutive season earning the
MLL All-Pro Team honors.

Denver's Jeremy Sieverts, joins the All-Pro Team for the first
time, after playing in the League for four seasons. Sieverts
collected 44 points on the season, and six two-point goals. He
rests at eighth in the League in scoring, just below teammate Drew
Snider.

Midfielder Paul Rabil, has now earned the honor in five
consecutive seasons, and continues to top the League in points
earned. This season, he was the League's second highest scorer,
with 54 points, on 32 goals and 19 assists. He led the Boston
Cannons in both points and goals again this season and rests at 300
career points.

Kevin Crowley, posted a League best, 55 points, and 38 goals. He
boasts a .333 shot percentage and has posted at least one goal in
all 14 games this season. Crowley has emerged as the player stop
and has scored at least three points in 11 games this season. To
add to his 2013 honors, he was named All-Star MVP, Brine Offensive
Player of the Year, and Warrior MVP.

Tied with Crowley for 55 points on the season, Denver's Chris
Bocklet is the first of the attackmen to make the team. He leads
the League in both points and goals, scoring 42, and has also
scored five or more points in eight games this season. He only
failed to put up points in one game this season, but played in all
14 contests for the undefeated Outlaws.

Charlotte's captain, Matt Danowski has emerged as a true team
leader for the young Hounds. Fourth in the League in scoring,
Danowski has led his team to their first Championship Weekend. He
grabbed 49 points on the season including 33 goals, and six
two-pointers.

Brendan Mundorf has rounded off the Outlaws' powerful attack,
contributing 23 goals and 18 assists in 2013. His 41 points this
season bring his career total to 347. In 2013 Mundorf made the
All-Star team for his seventh consecutive season, this will be his
fourth season earning the honor of All-Pro Team.

Cumulatively the 2013 MLL All-Pro Team attack and midfield have
scored 298 points on the season and 195 goals. As a whole this team
presents some of the MLL's best talent, including both Schwartzman
and Gurenlian who have broken single-season records at their
respective positions.

Ten of the 13 players named to the All-ProTeam will compete at
Championship Weekend presented by Smartlink on August 24 and 25 in
Philadelphia.
